Thanks so much to those of you who have already played in our 4th challenge! We have had many new friends join in for this one, many of which are Japanese! It is so fun looking at their blogs! Such talented scrapbookers!!

You still have time play! Just link up to the challenge post by Friday! Remember, the challenge is to make something with the color RED in honor of Japan! And you don't need a blog to play! You can link up to your online gallery. :) We only need 3 more players to make it to our next donation level!

We will randomly choose a "winner" on Saturday and that person will have the opportunity to be a guest designer for an upcoming challenge.

Here are a few projects that were entered this week:

Sonya

Kotomama

Tomomi

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for the rest of the week! Remember to Use It!!!

You still have time play! Just link up to the challenge post by Friday! Remember, the challenge is to make something based on our sketch developed by our own Sami! And you don't need a blog to play! You can link up to your online gallery. :)

For this week's challenge, please use one of the amazing sketches below to guide your creation! Sami made one for cards and one for scrapbook layouts...so no excuses to not use your stash! ;)

Please link your creation using Mr. Linky by Friday March 18th. No blog? No problem! Just use keyword USE003 when uploading to an online gallery and leave us a direct link so we can find your creation. (Linking tips are at the bottom of the post!)

Please make sure to mention you are playing along with a Use It Tuesday challenge (a link is great too!) so we know you are participating.

One lucky participant will be chosen randomly to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Here is a little inspiration to get you started:

A gorgeous creation from our Guest Designer, Becki from Rocky Road Forever, who won Challenge #2! Becki is showcasing a flower she made herself! And don't you just love that ribbon embellishment off the flower?

Siobhan used her "has never been inked" doggy stamp set and paired it with some of her coveted ribbon a friend got her in Korea.

We can't wait to see what you create! Now go Use It!!

Tips for linking:

On your blog, once you publish your post, click on "View Blog". Then copy the URL and paste that into the Mr. Linky address field.

No blog? Easy enough! Save your creation in your online gallery. Once it has been published, click on the exact project you want linked. Once it is up in your browser, copy the URL and paste that into the Mr. Linky address field below. If you don't use any online galleries, you can use Sami's SP Gallery, registration is free and easy!

Welcome!
